Klingon C8 Dreadnought conversion
My attempt at converting a 1/1600 scale model into a larger ship in 1/2500 scale . I'm using Adam Turner's rethink of the Starfleet Battles game design . Seek out his stuff on DeviantArt .
Surprisingly , the hull doesn't look far off . A bit shaved off the back and sides and the boom shortening brings it pretty close to Adam's design and in proportion to a 1/2500 D7 .
The boom has been planked in with the thickest plasticard I have , ready to file it into a squashed oval cone shape . I'll contour in the boom to the "ball" with Milliput filler and remove the old bridge triangle later .
Everything else is going to be built in plastic card , found objects and robbed from other kits .
